Liverpool slumped to a 2-1 defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford today. Here are our Liverpool player ratings:
A hugely disappointing result for Liverpool against Manchester United at Old Trafford as they sunk to a 2-1 loss. United now have a five point gap over the Reds in the Premier League and we have not won in the last 8 league games against them.
There were four changes from the side that saw out a 0-0 draw against FC Porto on Tuesday. The first choice back four was restored with Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk replacing Alberto Moreno, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
The big shock was that captain Jordan Henderson made way for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain while James Milner kept his place.
The first half was one of the worst of Liverpool’s season – on a par with the horror show against Spurs at Wembley in October. Two goals from Marcus Rashford who exposed Alexander-Arnold for the first while Lukaku bullied Dejan Lovren for two assists. An own goal from Eric Bailly gave Liveprool hope but they couldn’t create a clean cut chance for any of the forwards.
